The space saving Christmas tree

Christmas is coming and how nice it would be to have one of those huge trees weighed down with lights and decorations. But if you live in a small space it might be hard to place a full-size spruce. But never fear, there are other ways to build a large Christmas tree which can fit almost any place. The IKEA LIAMARIA is discontinued but you may be able to find it Amazon or eBay. Read more.
